1/4 oz. is something that many shops have evaluated or may be using
for "leading edge" technologies. Some difficult .004/.004"
technologies may have better yields utilizing this type of thin foil.
Pricing-I'm finding that the cost (at this point in time) is much
higher. Availability is also an issue. Sometimes we must order large
amounts to justify the "cut and tool to size" requirements.
Handling is an issue. Some of it is available with a temporary
carrier. (Peeled away after lamination) This is far beneficial than
the loose thin foil.
These foils are additionally available in 3/8 oz and 1/8 oz.
Technology....hummm. I believe that with these thin foils that
image and develop become the gauging factor. (eg. <.005" technology
is achievable) Other issues that become apparent are AOI resolution
and electrical test. (Electrical test when the parts have extremely
high IO)
Peel strength-You can anticipate a peel strength much less than 1/2
oz. These thin foils have very low profile topology on the treated
side and naturally yield low peel strengths. Rework/pads lifting off-
I don't have any idea on that question. Maybe someone else can offer
more input.
If you would like to discuss further information, please feel free
to email me direct.

We have traditionally used 1/2 oz cu in our designs and are considering 1/4
oz on some new designs (density issues). Are any of you using 1/4 oz? What
min trace/clearance are you using. In rework, do the pads lift off? Any
special concerns in manufacture?? Is cost greater/less than 1/2 oz? Special
handling problems? Etc etc etc???
Any input would be appreciated.
thanks
